original description

Felix Gillette yesterday in the NY Observer (the antidote for those who make the mistake of reading the Sun):Ms. Maddow bounded off the stage and walked toward the perimeter barriers of her makeshift TV set; the passersby and MSNBC fans had been gathering there throughout the day to gawk at the cable news fauna at close range, like they were in some kind of nature park, and for the holdouts this was their payoff. For the next several minutes, Ms. Maddow was shaking hands, signing autographs and posing for some cell-phone pictures while others were being taken clandestinely. After 15 minutes of this, a publicist sidled up to let her know that her car service had arrived. Time for the gang to head back to the hotel. Ms. Maddow accepted one last congratulatory handshake from MSNBC’s president, Phil Griffin; rounded the corner of the set; and broke into a big smile. “You’ve got to be kidding me,” said Ms. Maddow, sizing up her ride home. An enormous, cream-colored limousine awaited. It was a stretch Escalade. Those remaining on set chuckled and moved closer. “It’s got a light carbon footprint,” somebody yelled. Keith Olbermann took photos as the massive, tricked-out partymobile swallowed the MSNBC political panel whole: Michelle Bernard and Eugene Robinson, Pat Buchanan and Rachel Maddow.But wait, there's more (from Ellinorianne at MyDD.com):Maddow is not afraid of who she is, this is it.  Maddow is no plastic Anderson Cooper who has dodged questions about his sexuality and yet written extensively of other aspects of his personal life (which mind you, he is perfectly right in choosing what he shares with people).  Maddow has an amazing balance of who she is in that it does not eclipse anything else about her, it's balanced sanity in a "post rational" world and it's what I most admire about her. Now think about it, Rachel is not afraid to talk about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, so can you imagine having this finely focused mind covering the war wit
